#7 49 at Houston Rockets, 5th January, 2017
Stat line: 49 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals on 47.1 % shooting
In a highly-anticipated game between two MVP-candidates, Russell Westbrook exploded for a monster performance with 49 points but couldn't get the win against stacked Rockets.
The Thunder came into this game after heart-breaking losses against the Bucks and Charlotte and was looking to get back to winning ways but James Harden led Rockets had other plans for them.
Westbrook knocked an elbow-jumper to start the game and went for 49 on a 16-34 shooting with a field-goal percentage of 47.1. He also recorded 8 rebounds and 5 assists in this high-octane game.
James Harden was rusty and scored 26 on a 6-16 shooting but it was Nene who came up big with 18 points on a 6-6 shooting to give Rockets a 2-point win, 118-116. Nene's heroics also included two game-winning free-throws.
